Office of Central Reference.

following stateente and recommendations
(2) The grade structure of OCR in comparison to other
and Agency components is inequitable. This inequity
erent but is rendered even more pronounced by the
k of intre-DD/I career rotation planning. According
to statistice touted by the Office of Personnel as of
February 1956/ the average grade of Agency personnel is
8.8, the average grade for DD/1 offices is 8.8 and the
average grade for OCR is 7.0. It Is recognised that
the nature of OCR functions involve a high percentage
at clerical personnel and that this comparison niat be
viewed with respect to that factor. However/ the fol-
lowing tetae is indicative of i uittesin the ade 25X9A2
range fror is c
to DD/I le vise, i.e., 25X9A2
and 25X9A2
There is suftcient disparity in these senior prof
sional grades on a oomparative basis to warrant thorough
review of the grade structure for supervisory personnel
in OCR as compared to comparable gradee in 00 and ORB.
Admittedly, senior grades in OR R emphasize research
responsibility and in 00, operational qualifications

ties of utcient breadth and scope to nose than com-
pensate for the lack of sdbetantive reaearch functions
or operational ability.
4(3) Although a detailed claesification and wage
review of OCR positions is beyond the scope of this
survey, considerable attention was given to a general
evaluation of the specific nature of some of the analyt-
ical and supervisory responsibilities of certain posi-
tions in the Graphics Register and the Document Dvanct
of the CIA Library. In the Graphics Register, senior
analysts in the Analysis Section of the Photographic
Branch occupy GB4 and 080.7 positions. A review of
the 'work involved in these functions reveale substan.
tive responsibilities and research capabilities of
at least a 08.41 level. In the Document Branch of
the CIA Library, the position of the Chief is classi.
Lied only as a 113..11 although the position involves
the supervision and direction of loyees. It
is believed that this position co be raised to
at least a 08,12 on the basis of this fact alone.
Similarly, the majority of the Information Control
Clerks in the Distribution Section of the Document
Braneh are carried at the O8.6 level, although their
reeponsibilities involve the review of intelligence
documents of ail types. The positions described
should receive careful etudy and favorable attention
in any general classification and wage review,
"it trecommended het:
S direct the Director of Pe sonnel
to oon&ot an oerU classification and wage review
of the Oca grack tracture with particular reference

of the CIA Library."
